1924 Medal Honeycutt-156d Gilt Copper
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
This 1924 gilt copper medal cataloged as Honeycutt-156d is the standard variety that includes the stockholder marking, distinguishing it from the scarcer Honeycutt-156a variant without the stockholder inscription. The gilt copper composition provides the rich golden appearance of the gold wash over a copper base metal, creating an attractive presentation piece. Like other Philippine medals from the mid-1920s, this piece dates to the politically complex period of Governor-General Leonard Wood's administration. The Honeycutt catalog systematically differentiates between these die varieties using letter suffixes, with 156d representing the more commonly encountered version bearing the stockholder mark. Collectors of the Philippine medal series seek both variants to complete the Honeycutt-156 type set.
Rarity Notes
Gilt copper, Honeycutt-156d with stockholder mark. More available than the 156a variant without stockholder mark, but still scarce in absolute terms.
